“I am no longer behind on anything. I didn’t catch up. I just decided that where I am isn’t behind.”

I read a really funny statement on social media last week. Like the subject headline, it read: 

"I am pleased to announce that I am longer behind on anything. I didn’t catch up. I just decided that where I am isn’t behind." The quote is from Kate De Palma, LinkedIn user @kate_depalma. 

I just decided. Three simple words. Such a strong statement. 

I get it. The reality is, that we all have Due Dates and Deadlines for various circumstances in our life. 

The mortgage is due on the 1st of the month. An assignment at work has a deadline and others success is pending on you finishing on time. The kid’s bake sale goods are due tomorrow. 

But I am here to challenge that  A LOT of our TO DO's and SHOULD's, if we really think about it, is not as pressing as we think it is. 

A big one for me: Deciding that landscaping the front of my house for better curb appeal is really NOT something I need to stress over fitting in my budget this year. I have OTHER MORE IMPORTANT things to accomplish first. Then I can landscape. The only one that is stressing about that right now is me. Neighbors really don't care. 

What can you take off your running list right now that is truly causing you mental stress and thoughts of inadequacy?

You get to decide.
